Simon Cowell Hits Back At Elton John

Simon Cowell has fired back at Elton John after the singer labelled The X-Factor and Idol shows "boring" and "brain crippling".  

Last week John told Britain's Radio Times magazine "I'm not a fan of talent shows. I probably wouldn't have lasted if I'd gone on one. I was asked to judge American Idol. I couldn't do it because I won't slag anyone off. Also I don't want to be on television. It's become boring, arse-paralysingly brain crippling."

Cowell responded via the The Mirror stating "What he's slightly missing the point on, and you always hear this resentment from bigger artists nowadays... they don't like the fact a show can make an artist. I always say to these people who criticise - why don't you spend some time with new artists. If Elton feels that strongly about it then my message to him is: "You show me how to do it."
